FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to compounds capable of acting as agonists of the APJ Receptor, and compositions that include compounds that are agonists of the APJ Receptor. The compounds and compositions may be used to activate the APJ Receptor and to treat various disease conditions. An example of one area where such compounds may be used is in the treatment of cardiovascular conditions. In particular, the compounds may be used to improve contractility and ejection fraction in subjects with chronic heart failure and may be used to treat patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Apelin is the endogenous ligand for APJ (APLNR, angiotensin receptor like-1). The APJ receptor is a member of the rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family. The apelin/APJ system has been observed in many tissues such as heart, kidney, pancreas, lung and the central nervous system. This suggests diverse roles of the system in the physiology and pathology of mammals.

Apelin peptides are processed from a 77 residue pre-pro form into smaller bioactive fragments, mainly a 36 residue form (Apelin 42-77—also referred to as Apelin-36) and a smaller 13 residue polypeptide (Apelin 65-77—also referred to as Apelin-13) Hosoya et al., J. Biol. Chem. 275:21061-21067, 2000. Apelin peptides were previously determined to be endogenous ligands for the orphan APJ receptor, a member of the seven transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily. Tatemoto et al., Biochem. Biophysi. Res. Commun. 251:471-476, 1998. One of the shorter more active isoforms identified, pyroglutamated apelin-13 ([PE65]Apelin-13 (65-77), has been reported to be the most potent and abundant form of apelin in cardiac tissue. Maguire et al., Hypertension 54:598-604, 2009. In vitro and preclinical models have suggested that the apelin/APJ system has a role in cardiovascular homeostasis as well as metabolism. Barnes et al., Heart 96:1011-1016, 2010. Circulating apelin levels are transient and Apelin-13 has a brief plasma half-life of <5 min leading to short-lived cardiovascular effects.

In vitro, exogenous apelin increases contractility at subnanomolar concentrations in atrial strips and whole rat hearts, and increases sarcomere shortening by up to 140% in isolated cardiomyocyctes. Barnes et al., Heart 96:1011-1016, 2010. Apelin also has a potent inotropic effect in an ex vivo isolated heart assay. In vivo, acute apelin infusion restores ejection fraction, increases cardiac output and reduces left ventricular end-diastolic pressure in rats with chronic heart failure. Berry et al., Circulation 110:187-193, 2004. Exogenous apelin potently enhances myocardial contractility without inducing left ventricular hypertrophy concomitant with reduction in ventricular preload and afterload. Barnes et al., Heart 96:1011-1016, 2010.

Studies from Kawamata et al and Hosoya et al have shown that that shorter peptide apelin-13 had approximately a 3.5-fold higher in vitro affinity to the APJ receptor than apelin-36. Kawamata et al., BBA 1538: 162-171, 2001, Hosoya et al., JBC 275: 21061-21067. Apelin-13 analogues were reported having a single substitution with either canonical or non-canonical amino acids. The authors also reported double and triple substitutions in apelin 66-77 and apelin 63-77, but not in apelin-13. The emphasis was on peptides reported to have higher in vitro affinity and potency than apelin-13. Nishizawa et al., in: T. Shioiri (ed.), Peptide Science 2000: Proceedings of the₃₇th Japanese Peptide Symposium, pp. 151-154. Several if not all of these modified peptides are reported in later studies. U.S. Pat. No. 7,635,751.

In a 2003 study (Medhurst et al., J. Neurochemistry 84:1162-1172, 2003) in vitro activity of apelin-36, apelin-17 and apelin-13 was compared. It was concluded that all three peptides were approximately equipotent. C-terminal amidation resulted in about a 14-fold decrease in affinity. A more recent study (Hamada et al., J. Mol. Med. 22:547-552, 2008) reported cyclic analogues of apelin-13. When tested for in vitro activity all three analogues maintained function activity, although with reduced potency relative to apelin-13.

A shortened 12 amino acid-apelin peptide having ligand activity on APJ was reported in a 2009 patent (U.S. Pat. No. 7,635,751). The peptide could have a substitution of one non-canonical amino acid. In another application, WO 2013/111110 A2 and U.S. Pat. No. 8,673,848, cyclic mimetics of apelin have also been reported.

Another study reported synthesizing analogs of apelin-13 with amino acid substitutions with non-canonical amino acids at the C-terminal end of the molecule, but no pegylation at the N- or C-terminus or another site specific location. The use of internal PEG spacers (short PEG (n=4 or 6), however, was also reported in lower activity peptide analogs with deletions in the middle of the sequence that contained fewer amino acid residues than apelin-13. Murza et al. ChemMedChem 7:318-325, 2012. Additionally, PCT/US2013/075773 describes a group of modifications, including substitution of non-canonical amino acids and changes at the N- and C-terminal of the apelin molecule that can affect, inter alia, the potency of the molecule. The increased potency can be a result of increased half-life or decreased degradation relative to wild-type apelin.

Despite the advancements that have been made with respect to peptides, a need exists for small molecule agonists of the APJ receptor. However, some progress has been made in this area. For example, WO 2014/044738 discloses various benzimidazole-carboxylic acid amide derivatives as modulators of the APJ Receptor. Other small molecule agonists of the APJ receptor are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Appl. Pub. No. US 2016/0340336, WO 2016/187308, WO 2015/184011, and WO 2015/188073.

A need continues to exist for agonists of the APJ receptor that may be used to treat various cardiovascular and other conditions. The present application discloses such agonists of the APJ receptor s that may be suitable for use as therapeutic agents in treating a variety of conditions. These compounds may find particular benefit in treating cardiovascular conditions. For example, such compounds may be beneficial in treating conditions such as chronic systolic heart failure and chronic diastolic heart failure.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a graph plotting different concentrations of angiotensin (AngII) with fixed concentration of pyr apelin-13 added to the human APJ-AT1R (angiotensin Type 1) double stable CHO cell line. The function of the inositol phosphate accumulation (IP1) was measured by Time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy (TR-FRET) at 620 nm and 665 nm respectively. Addition of pyr apelin-13 induces the positive cooperativity on the AT1R upon activation by APJ receptor.

FIG. 2 is a graph plotting different concentrations of angiotensin (AngII) with fixed concentration of pyr apelin-13 added to the human APJ receptor expressed in the CHO cell line. The function of the inositol phosphate accumulation (IP1) was measured by Time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy (TR-FRET) at 620 nm and 665 nm respectively. There was no positive cooperativity observed upon treatment with pyr apelin-13 when the human APJ receptor is expressed alone.

FIG. 3 is a graph plotting different concentrations of angiotensin (AngII) with fixed concentration of pyr apelin-13 added to the human AT1R receptor expressed in the CHO cell line. The function of the inositol phosphate accumulation (IP1) was measured by Time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy (TR-FRET) at 620 nm and 665 nm respectively. There was no positive cooperativity observed when the human AT1R receptor is expressed alone by pyr apelin-13 in the absence of APJ expression.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, reaction conditions, and so forth used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about.” Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the following specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements.

As used herein, if any variable occurs more than one time in a chemical formula, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. If the chemical structure and chemical name conflict, the chemical structure is determinative of the identity of the compound. The compounds of the present disclosure may contain one or more chiral centers and/or double bonds and therefore, may exist as stereoisomers, such as double-bond isomers (i.e., geometric isomers), enantiomers or diastereomers. Accordingly, any chemical structures within the scope of the specification depicted, in whole or in part, with a relative configuration encompass all possible enantiomers and stereoisomers of the illustrated compounds including the stereoisomerically pure form (e.g., geometrically pure, enantiomerically pure or diastereomerically pure) and enantiomeric and stereoisomeric mixtures. Enantiomeric and stereoisomeric mixtures can be resolved into the component enantiomers or stereoisomers using separation techniques or chiral synthesis techniques well known to the skilled artisan.

The term “comprising” is meant to be open ended, i.e., all encompassing and non-limiting. It may be used herein synonymously with “having” or “including”. Comprising is intended to include each and every indicated or recited component or element(s) while not excluding any other components or elements. For example, if a composition is said to comprise A and B. This means that the composition has A and B in it, but may also include C or even C, D, E, and other additional components.

Certain compounds of the invention may possess asymmetric carbon atoms (optical centers) or double bonds; the racemates, enantiomers, diastereomers, geometric isomers and individual isomers are all intended to be encompassed within the scope of the invention. Furthermore, atropisomers and mixtures thereof such as those resulting from restricted rotation about two aromatic or heteroaromatic rings bonded to one another are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the invention. For example, when R⁴ is a phenyl group and is substituted with two groups bonded to the C atoms adjacent to the point of attachment to the N atom of the triazole, then rotation of the phenyl may be restricted. In some instances, the barrier of rotation is high enough that the different atropisomers may be separated and isolated.

As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term “stereoisomer” or “stereomerically pure” means one stereoisomer of a compound that is substantially free of other stereoisomers of that compound. For example, a stereomerically pure compound having one chiral center will be substantially free of the mirror image enantiomer of the compound. A stereomerically pure compound having two chiral centers will be substantially free of other diastereomers of the compound. A typical stereomerically pure compound comprises greater than about 80% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 20% by weight of other stereoisomers of the compound, more preferably greater than about 90% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 10% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound, even more preferably greater than about 95% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 5% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound, and most preferably greater than about 97% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 3% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound. If the stereochemistry of a structure or a portion of a structure is not indicated with, for example, bold or dashed lines, the structure or portion of the structure is to be interpreted as encompassing all stereoisomers of it. A bond drawn with a wavy line indicates that both stereoisomers are encompassed. This is not to be confused with a wavy line drawn perpendicular to a bond which indicates the point of attachment of a group to the rest of the molecule.

As described above, this invention encompasses the use of stereomerically pure forms of such compounds, as well as the use of mixtures of those forms. For example, mixtures comprising equal or unequal amounts of the enantiomers of a particular compound of the invention may be used in methods and compositions of the invention. These isomers may be asymmetrically synthesized or resolved using standard techniques such as chiral columns or chiral resolving agents. See, e.g., Jacques, J., et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley-Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen, S. H., et al. (1997) Tetrahedron 33:2725; Eliel, E. L., Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, N Y, 1962); and Wilen, S. H., Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E. L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, Ind., 1972).

As known by those skilled in the art, certain compounds of the invention may exist in one or more tautomeric forms. Because one chemical structure may only be used to represent one tautomeric form, it will be understood that for convenience, referral to a compound of a given structural formula includes tautomers of the structure represented by the structural formula.

As noted above, compounds of the invention may exist in multiple tautomeric forms. This is particularly true in compounds of Formula I where R² is H. These forms are illustrated below as Tautomer A and Tautomer B:

Compounds of the invention are depicted structurally and named as compounds in the “Tautomer A” form. However, it is specifically contemplated and known that the compounds exist in “Tautomer B” form and thus compounds in “Tautomer B” form are expressly considered to be part of the invention. For this reason, the claims refer to compounds of Formula I and Formula II. Depending on the compound, some compounds may exist primarily in one form more than another. Also, depending on the compound and the energy required to convert one tautomer to the other, some compounds may exist as mixtures at room temperature whereas others may be isolated in one tautomeric form or the other. Examples of other tautomers associated with compounds of the invention are those with a pyridone group (a pyridinyl) for which hydroxypyridine is a tautomer and compounds with a ketone group with the enol tautomer. Examples of these are shown below.

Compounds of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, compounds of Formula I and Formula II and all pharmaceutically acceptable forms thereof. Pharmaceutically acceptable forms of the compounds recited herein include pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, crystal forms (including polymorphs and clathrates), chelates, non-covalent complexes, prodrugs, and mixtures thereof. In certain embodiments, the compounds described herein are in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. As used herein, the term “compound” encompasses not only the compound itself, but also a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a solvate thereof, a chelate thereof, a non-covalent complex thereof, a prodrug thereof, and mixtures of any of the foregoing. In some embodiments, the term “compound” encompasses the compound itself, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, tautomers of the compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the tautomers, and ester prodrugs such as (C₁-C₄)alkyl esters. In other embodiments, the term “compound” encompasses the compound itself, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, tautomers of the compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the tautomers.

The term “solvate” refers to the compound formed by the interaction of a solvent and a compound. Suitable solvates are pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, such as hydrates, including monohydrates and hemi-hydrates.

The compounds of the invention may also contain naturally occurring or unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (³H), iodine-125 (¹²⁵I) or carbon-14 (¹⁴C). Radiolabeled compounds are useful as therapeutic or prophylactic agents, research reagents, e.g., assay reagents, and diagnostic agents, e.g., in vivo imaging agents. All isotopic variations of the compounds of the invention, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the invention. For example, if a variable is said or shown to be H, this means that variable may also be deuterium (D) or tritium (T).

“Alkyl” refers to a saturated branched or straight-chain monovalent hydrocarbon group derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom from a single carbon atom of a parent alkane. Typical alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyls such as propan-1-yl and propan-2-yl, butyls such as butan-1-yl, butan-2-yl, 2-methyl-propan-1-yl, 2-methyl-propan-2-yl, tert-butyl, and the like. In certain embodiments, an alkyl group comprises 1 to 20 carbon atoms. In some embodiments, alkyl groups include 1 to 10 carbon atoms or 1 to 6 carbon atoms whereas in other embodiments, alkyl groups include 1 to 4 carbon atoms. In still other embodiments, an alkyl group includes 1 or 2 carbon atoms. Branched chain alkyl groups include at least 3 carbon atoms and typically include 3 to 7, or in some embodiments, 3 to 6 carbon atoms. An alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms may be referred to as a (C₁-C₆)alkyl group and an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms may be referred to as a (C₁-C₄)alkyl. This nomenclature may also be used for alkyl groups with differing numbers of carbon atoms. The term “alkyl may also be used when an alkyl group is a substituent that is further substituted in which case a bond between a second hydrogen atom and a C atom of the alkyl substituent is replaced with a bond to another atom such as, but not limited to, a halogen, or an O, N, or S atom. For example, a group —O—(C₁-C₆ alkyl)-OH will be recognized as a group where an —O atom is bonded to a C₁-C₆ alkyl group and one of the H atoms bonded to a C atom of the C₁-C₆ alkyl group is replaced with a bond to the O atom of an —OH group. As another example, a group —O—(C₁-C₆ alkyl)-O—(C₁-C₆ alkyl) will be recognized as a group where an —O atom is bonded to a first C₁-C₆ alkyl group and one of the H atoms bonded to a C atom of the first C₁-C₆ alkyl group is replaced with a bond to a second O atom that is bonded to a second C₁-C₆ alkyl group.

“Alkenyl” refers to an unsaturated branched or straight-chain hydrocarbon group having at least one carbon-carbon double bond derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom from a single carbon atom of a parent alkene.

In certain embodiments, an alkenyl group has 2 to 20 carbon atoms and in other embodiments, has 2 to 6 carbon atoms. An alkenyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms may be referred to as a (C₂-C₆)alkenyl group.

“Alkynyl” refers to an unsaturated branched or straight-chain hydrocarbon having at least one carbon-carbon triple bond derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom from a single carbon atom of a parent alkyne. Typical alkynyl groups include, but are not limited to, ethynyl; propynyl; butynyl, 2-pentynyl, 3-pentynyl, 2-hexynyl, 3-hexynyl and the like. In certain embodiments, an alkynyl group has 2 to 20 carbon atoms and in other embodiments, has 2 to 6 carbon atoms.

“Alkoxy” refers to a radical —OR where R represents an alkyl group as defined herein. Representative examples include, but are not limited to, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, and the like. Typical alkoxy groups include 1 to 10 carbon atoms, 1 to 6 carbon atoms or 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the R group. Alkoxy groups that include 1 to 6 carbon atoms may be designated as —O—(C₁-C₆) alkyl or as —O—(C₁-C₆ alkyl) groups. In some embodiments, an alkoxy group may include 1 to 4 carbon atoms and may be designated as —O—(C₁-C₄) alkyl or as —O—(C₁-C₄ alkyl) groups group.

“Aryl” refers to a monovalent aromatic hydrocarbon group derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom from a single carbon atom of a parent aromatic ring system. Aryl encompasses monocyclic carbocyclic aromatic rings, for example, benzene. Aryl also encompasses bicyclic carbocyclic aromatic ring systems where each of the rings is aromatic, for example, naphthalene. Aryl groups may thus include fused ring systems where each ring is a carbocyclic aromatic ring. In certain embodiments, an aryl group includes 6 to 10 carbon atoms. Such groups may be referred to as C₆-C₁₀ aryl groups. Aryl, however, does not encompass or overlap in any way with heteroaryl as separately defined below. Hence, if one or more carbocyclic aromatic rings is fused with an aromatic ring that includes at least one heteroatom, the resulting ring system is a heteroaryl group, not an aryl group, as defined herein.

“Carbonyl” refers to the radical —C(O) which may also be referred to as —C(═O) group.

“Carboxy” refers to the radical —C(O)OH which may also be referred to as —C(═O)OH.

“Cyano” refers to the radical —CN.

“Cycloalkyl” refers to a saturated cyclic alkyl group derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom from a single carbon atom of a parent cycloalkane. Typical cycloalkyl groups include, but are not limited to, groups derived from cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cycloheptane, cyclooctane, and the like. Cycloalkyl groups may be described by the number of carbon atoms in the ring. For example, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 8 ring members may be referred to as a (C₃-C₈)cycloalkyl, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 7 ring members may be referred to as a (C₃-C₇)cycloalkyl and a cycloalkyl group having 4 to 7 ring members may be referred to as a (C₄-C₇)cycloalkyl. In certain embodiments, the cycloalkyl group can be a (C₃-C₁₀)cycloalkyl, a (C₃-C₈)cycloalkyl, a (C₃-C₇)cycloalkyl, a (C₃-C₆)cycloalkyl, or a (C₄-C₇)cycloalkyl group and these may be referred to as C₃-C₁₀ cycloalkyl, C₃-C₈ cycloalkyl, C₃-C₇ cycloalkyl, C₃-C₆ cycloalkyl, or C₄-C₇ cycloalkyl groups using alternative language. Cycloalkyl groups may be monocyclic or polycyclic. For the purposes of this application, the term “polycyclic” when used with respect to cycloalkyl will include bicyclic cycloalkyl groups such as, but not limited to, norbornane, bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane, and bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, and cycloalkyl groups with more ring systems such as, but not limited to, cubane. The term “polycyclic” when used with respect to cycloalkyl will also include spirocyclic ring systems such as, but not limited to, spiro[2.2]pentane, spiro[2.3]hexane, spiro[3.3]heptane, and spiro[3.4]octane.

“Heterocyclyl” and “heterocyclic” refer to a cyclic group that includes at least one saturated, partially unsaturated, but non-aromatic, cyclic ring. Heterocyclyl groups include at least one heteroatom as a ring member. Typical heteroatoms include, O, S and N and are independently chosen. Heterocyclyl groups include monocyclic ring systems and bicyclic ring systems. Bicyclic heterocyclyl groups include at least one non-aromatic ring with at least one heteroatom ring member that may be fused to a cycloalkyl ring or may be fused to an aromatic ring where the aromatic ring may be carbocyclic or may include one or more heteroatoms. The point of attachment of a bicyclic heterocyclyl group may be at the non-aromatic cyclic ring that includes at least one heteroatom or at another ring of the heterocyclyl group. For example, a heterocyclyl group derived by removal of a hydrogen atom from one of the 9 membered heterocyclic compounds shown below may be attached to the rest of the molecule at the 5-membered ring or at the 6-membered ring.

In some embodiments, a heterocyclyl group includes 5 to 10 ring members of which 1, 2, 3 or 4 or 1, 2, or 3 are heteroatoms independently selected from O, S, or N. In other embodiments, a heterocyclyl group includes 3 to 7 ring members of which 1, 2, or 3 heteroatom are independently selected from O, S, or N. In such 3-7 membered heterocyclyl groups, only 1 of the ring atoms is a heteroatom when the ring includes only 3 members and includes 1 or 2 heteroatoms when the ring includes 4 members. In some embodiments, a heterocyclyl group includes 3 or 4 ring members of which 1 is a heteroatom selected from O, S, or N. In other embodiments, a heterocyclyl group includes 5 to 7 ring members of which 1, 2, or 3 are heteroatoms independently selected from O, S, or N. Typical heterocyclyl groups include, but are not limited to, groups derived from epoxides, aziridine, azetidine, imidazolidine, morpholine, piperazine, piperidine, hexahydropyrimidine, 1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine, pyrazolidine, pyrrolidine, quinuclidine, tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, benzimidazolone, pyridinone, and the like. Heterocyclyl groups may be fully saturated, but may also include one or more double bonds. Examples of such heterocyclyl groups include, but are not limited to, 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridinyl, 3,6-dihydro-2H-pyranyl, 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyranyl, 2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrolyl, 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrolyl, 1H-azirinyl, 1,2-dihydroazetenyl, and the like. Substituted heterocyclyl also includes ring systems substituted with one or more oxo (═O) or oxide (—O—) substituents, such as piperidinyl N-oxide, morpholinyl-N-oxide, 1-oxo-1-thiomorpholinyl, pyridinonyl, benzimidazolonyl, benzo[d]oxazol-2(3H)-only, 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-only, indolin-only, 1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-2(3H)-only, 7H-purin-8(9H)-only, imidazolidin-2-only, 1H-imidazol-2(3H)-only, 1,1-dioxo-1-thiomorpholinyl, and the like. In heterocyclyl group containing a sulfur atom, the sulfur atom may be bonded to 0, 1, or 2 O atoms in addition to the adjacent ring members such that the sulfur may in various oxidation states. For example, a saturated 5-membered heterocycle containing one heteroatom which is a S may include the following heterocycles.

“Disease” refers to any disease, disorder, condition, symptom, or indication.

“Halo” or “halogen” refers to a fluoro, chloro, bromo, or iodo group.

“Haloalkyl” refers to an alkyl group in which at least one hydrogen is replaced with a halogen. Thus, the term “haloalkyl” includes monohaloalkyl (alkyl substituted with one halogen atom) and polyhaloalkyl (alkyl substituted with two or more halogen atoms). Representative “haloalkyl” groups include difluoromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, and the like. The term “perhaloalkyl” means, unless otherwise stated, an alkyl group in which each of the hydrogen atoms is replaced with a halogen atom. For example, the term “perhaloalkyl”, includes, but is not limited to, trifluoromethyl, pentachloroethyl, 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-bromo-2-chloroethyl, and the like.

“Heteroaryl” refers to a monovalent heteroaromatic group derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom from a single atom of a parent heteroaromatic ring system. Heteroaryl groups typically include 5- to 14-membered, but more typically include 5- to 10-membered aromatic, monocyclic, bicyclic, and tricyclic rings containing one or more, for example, 1, 2, 3, or 4, or in certain embodiments, 1, 2, or 3, heteroatoms chosen from O, S, or N, with the remaining ring atoms being carbon. In monocyclic heteroaryl groups, the single ring is aromatic and includes at least one heteroatom. In some embodiments, a monocyclic heteroaryl group may include 5 or 6 ring members and may include 1, 2, 3, or 4 heteroatoms, 1, 2, or 3 heteroatoms, 1 or 2 heteroatoms, or 1 heteroatom where the heteroatom(s) are independently selected from O, S, or N. In bicyclic aromatic rings, both rings are aromatic. In bicyclic heteroaryl groups, at least one of the rings must include a heteroatom, but it is not necessary that both rings include a heteroatom although it is permitted for them to do so. For example, the term “heteroaryl” includes a 5- to 7-membered heteroaromatic ring fused to a carbocyclic aromatic ring or fused to another heteroaromatic ring. In tricyclic aromatic rings, all three of the rings are aromatic and at least one of the rings includes at least one heteroatom. For fused, bicyclic and tricyclic heteroaryl ring systems where only one of the rings contains one or more heteroatoms, the point of attachment may be at the ring including at least one heteroatom or at a carbocyclic ring. When the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl group exceeds 1, those heteroatoms are not adjacent to one another. In certain embodiments, the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl group is not more than 2. In certain embodiments, the total number of S and O atoms in the aromatic heterocycle is not more than 1. Heteroaryl does not encompass or overlap with aryl as defined above. Examples of heteroaryl groups include, but are not limited to, groups derived from acridine, carbazole, cinnoline, furan, imidazole, indazole, indole, indolizine, isobenzofuran, isochromene, isoindole, isoquinoline, isothiazole, 2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole, isoxazole, naphthyridine, oxadiazole, oxazole, perimidine, phenanthridine, phenanthroline, phenazine, phthalazine, pteridine, purine, pyrazine, pyrazole, pyridazine, pyridine, pyrimidine, pyrrole, pyrrolizine, quinazoline, quinoline, quinolizine, quinoxaline, tetrazole, thiadiazole, thiazole, thiophene, triazole, and the like. In certain embodiments, the heteroaryl group can be between 5 to 20 membered heteroaryl, such as, for example, a 5 to 14 membered or 5 to 10 membered heteroaryl. In certain embodiments, heteroaryl groups can be those derived from thiophene, pyrrole, benzothiophene, 2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole benzofuran, indole, pyridine, quinoline, imidazole, benzimidazole, oxazole, tetrazole, and pyrazine.

To a 100-mL round-bottomed flask was added 4-chloro-3-pyridinesulfonamide (commercially available from Alfa Aesar, 0.56 g, 2.91 mmol) in AcOH (25 mL). N₂ was bubbled through the suspension for 5 mins before platinum (iv) oxide (commercially available from Sigma-Aldrich, USA, 0.330 g, 1.454 mmol) was added under N₂ flow. The flask was then sealed with a septum and vacuumed. Hydrogen gas was back-filled from a balloon. The reaction mixture was stirred at 23° C. under hydrogen gas for 3 days. Celite® brand filter aid (20 g) was then added to the reaction mixture with stirring. The solution was filtered through a short pad of Celite® brand filter aid. The cake was rinsed with MeOH. The combined organics were concentrated in vacuo to give the initial material as a light-yellow glass.

Example 113.0. Preparation of 2-isothiocyanato-1,3-dimethoxypropane

2-Isothiocyanato-1,3-dimethoxypropane, Example 113.0

To a dry 200 round-bottom flask was added di(2-pyridyl) thionocarbonate (5.34 g, 23.00 mmol) in DCM (73.0 mL). 2-Amino-1,3-dimethoxypropane in DCM (15 mL) was added dropwise via an addition funnel over 5 mins. The reaction mixture was then stirred at RT for 3.5 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The material was absorbed onto a plug of silica gel and purified by chromatography through a Redi-Sep pre-packed silica gel column (40 g), eluting with a gradient of 0% to 50% EtOAc in heptanes, to provide 2-isothiocyanato-1,3-dimethoxypropane (3.28 g, 20.34 mmol, 93% yield) as a colorless oil.

The mixture was then degassed by placing under vacuum and backfilling with N₂ three times. To this was added a solution of HCOOH:Et₃N (5:2 v/v) (0.55 mL), and the reaction was stirred at RT for 12 hrs after which LCMS indicated complete conversion to product and 7:1 d.r. (syn:anti). The mixture was then washed with 5% LiCl (aq), extracted with DCM and then with CHCl₃:IPA (3:1). The organic layer was dried over Na₂SO₄ and concentrated in vacuo. The mixture was loaded directly onto a silica gel column and purified using a gradient of 0-100% heptanes:EtOAc. DMF caused both syn and anti to co-elute. The factions were combined and concentrated in vacuo. The mixture was repurified using the same gradient to yield (1R,2S)-1-hydroxy-N,N-bis(4-methoxybenzyl)-1-(5-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)propane-2-sulfonamide (0.77 g, 1.63 mmol, 77% yield) as an off white solid. ¹H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d₆) δ 8.85-8.93 (m, 2H) 7.08-7.15 (m, 4H) 6.78-6.86 (m, 4H) 5.86-5.96 (m, 1H) 4.20-4.35 (m, 4H) 3.68-3.75 (m, 6H) 3.28-3.34 (m, 2H) 2.37-2.42 (m, 3H) 1.47-1.54 (m, 3H).

A solution of Example 209.12 (0.5 g, 1.06 mmol) in THF (5.30 mL) was cooled to −78° C. To this was added potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide solution, (1M in THF, 1.27 mL, 1.27 mmol) dropwise, and the reaction was stirred at −78° C. for 15 mins. 2,2-Difluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (0.056 mL, 0.42 mmol) was added to the mixture dropwise. The reaction was then stirred for another 15 mins at −78° C. after which LCMS indicated complete conversion to product. The mixture was poured onto a solution of NH₄Cl and extracted with DCM, dried over Na₂SO₄ and concentrated in vacuo. The material was purified by silica gel 0-75% EtOAc:Heptanes to yield Example 209.1 (0.4 g, 0.75 mmol, 70% yield). LCMS-ESI (pos.) m/z: 472.2 (M+H)⁺.

(1R,2S)-1-(2,2-Difluoroethoxy)-1-(5-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)propane-2-sulfonamide, Example 209.2

To a solution of Example 209.1 (0.8 g, 1.494 mmol) in DCM (7.47 mL) was added anisole (0.808 mL, 7.47 mmol), and the mixture was cooled to 0° C. To this was added 1,1,1-trifluoroacetic acid (2.226 mL, 29.9 mmol), and the mixture was allowed to warm to RT and stirred at RT for 24 h. LCMS indicated incomplete conversion to product and so a second portion of TFA was added and the mixture stirred for a further 12 h after which the reaction didn't progress any further. The mixture was quenched by addition to an aqueous solution of NaHCO₃ and extracted with DCM, dried over Na₂SO₄ and concentrated in vacuo. The mixture was purified using a gradient of 0-100 Heptanes:EtOAc. to yield Example 209.2 (0.4 g, 1.36 mmol, 91% yield). LCMS-ESI (pos.) m/z: 296.0 (M+H)⁺.

Biological Activity

[³⁵S]GTPγS Binding

The human APJ receptor was cloned by polymerase chain reaction and the gene encoding the receptor was subcloned in pFLAG-CMV™-3 expression vector (Sigma, Saint Louis, Mo. USA) in-house at Amgen. A GTPγS binding assay was performed on membranes prepared from CHO cells stably expressing human APJ receptor. The optimum experimental conditions for the concentrations of GDP, MgCl₂, and NaCl in the assay buffer were initially determined. The assay was performed in 9 μL assay buffer [20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl₂, 100 mM NaCl and 0.1% (w/v) BSA], 1 μL of diluted test compound (starting with 0.75 mM, 2-fold serial dilution with DMSO, total 22 points), 10 μL of 18 μM GDP (final concentration of 3 μM GDP), 20 μL of 0.25 μg/mL membrane protein expressing human APJ receptor captured with WGA PS beads (final concentration of 5 μg per well), and 20 μL of 0.3 nM [³⁵S]GTPγS (final concentration is 0.1 nM [³⁵S]GTPγS)(Perkin Elmer Life and Analytical Sciences, Waltham USA). One column of the plate was 1 μL of DMSO as background and another column of the plate was 1 μL of 180 μM Pyr-Apelin-13 which was used as control at a final concentration of 3 μM. Incubation was at RT for 90 min and the microplate was read using a ViewLux™ ultra HTS Microplate Imager (PerkinElmer, Inc.). All the results presented are means of several independent experiments and analyzed by non-linear regression methods using the commercially available program Prism (GraphPad, San Diego, Calif.) providing the EC₅₀ values detailed in Table 25.

Evidence for Load Independent Inotropic Effects with APJ Agonists Using Ex Vivo Assay (Isolated Perfused Rat Hearts)

Naive Sprague Dawley® SD rats (Harlan laboratories (Livermore, Calif. USA)) were anaesthetized and hearts were excised followed by cannulation in the Langendorff apparatus (Harvard apparatus, Holliston, Mass. USA) via aorta. The heart was perfused retrograde with modified oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit buffer (Skrzypiec-Spring M et al., (2007) J. Pharmacol Toxicol Methods 55: 113-126). The pressure of the solution causes the aortic valve to shut and the perfusate is then forced into the ostium and the coronary vessels. This allows the heart to beat for several hours. A balloon was inserted into the left ventricle (LV) to measure dP/dt_(max) (derivative of left ventricular pressure) as an index of cardiac contractility. The APJ agonist was perfused constantly in a dose dependent manner into the heart to examine cardiac contractility. Administration of APJ agonist showed a dose-dependent increase in inotropic and lusitropic effects at varying degrees (Table 26). APJ agonists of the present invention showed improvement in cardiac contractility and relaxation when perfused into the heart as described above.

Evidence for Improvement in Cardiac Contractility In Vivo in Heart Failure Rat Model

Based on the ex vivo findings in isolated heart assay, APJ agonists may be dosed in vivo to investigate the translation of cardiac contractility in in vivo settings. Male Lewis rats (Charles River, USA) at 2-3 months of age are used for the study. Heart failure is induced by permanent ligation of the left descending coronary artery which results in injury to the heart with an ejection fraction of <35%. APJ agonists are administered dose dependently acutely for a period of 30 min. Administration of example compounds will be found to lead to an increase in cardiac contractility as measured by dP/dt_(ma) (derivative of left ventricular pressure).

APJ is a G-protein coupled receptor that is closely related to the Angiotensin II Type 1 receptor (AT1R) with 50% homology in the transmembrane domain. Apelin is a known endogenous ligand for APJ and recently another ligand named ELABELA has been identified as another potential ligand for the APJ receptor (Tatemoto, K. et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 251, pp. 471-476 (1998); Pauli, A. et al., Science, 343, pp. 1248636 (2014)). Since its discovery, there is accumulating evidence indicating the role of the apelin-APJ receptor in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases. Pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown that acute infusion of apelin or APJ agonists improve cardiac function under heart failure settings (Berry, M. F., et al., Circulation, 110(11) pp. 11187-11193 (2004); Japp, A. G. et al., Circulation, 121, pp. 1818-1827 (2010)).

A key emerging aspect of the apelin-APJ system is its interaction with the renin-angiotensin system. Apelin is also known to counter-regulate the vasoconstriction actions of AngII. Apelin knockout mice show a strong increased vasopressor response to AngII indicating that the apelin/APJ system exerts the hypotensive effect in vivo against the pressor action of AngII. In addition, the apelin activated APJ pathway inhibited angiotensin-mediated formation of atherosclerosis through interaction with the AT1R (Chun, H. J., et al., J. Clin. Invest., 118, pp. 3343-3354 (2008), Siddiquee, K. et al., J. Hypertens., 29, pp. 724-731 (2011), Sun, X. et al., Hypertens. Res., 34, pp. 701-706 (2011)). This could be mediated by convergence of two independent intracellular signaling pathways or via direct physical interaction of APJ with AT1R to form a heterodimer. Siddiquee et al. showed that the AngII signaling is antagonized through apelin-dependent heterodimerization and APJ mediated negative allosteric modulation of AT1R function (Siddiquee, K. et al., Br. J. Pharmacol., 168, pp. 1104-1117 (2013).

We were interested to understand if the heterodimerization of APJ-AT1R upon activation by APJ agonists would have any beneficial outcome clinically in heart failure patients considering most of these patients are on standard of care drugs such as angiotensin blockers (angiotensin II receptor antagonists or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. In order to explore the cross-talk between APJ and the AT1R receptor, we examined IP1 signaling mediated by AT1R upon activation with APJ agonists. Surprisingly and contrary to the findings by Siddique et al., activation of the APJ pathway resulted in positive cooperativity of AngII by shifting its potency to the left and also increasing the efficacy of the IP response (see methods and results section below). Conversely, blocking the AT1R receptor by an ARB such as losartan relieved the inhibition of the APJ receptor and up regulates its signaling which is observed as synergistic effects in both ex-vivo and in vivo studies. This work establishes a new paradigm for cross-talk interaction/heterodimerization between APJ & AT1R which might have implications for approaches to pharmacological interventions in heart failure populations.

The interaction between acetyl cholinesterase (ACE2) and Apelin biology is complicated. To investigate the interaction between the Apelin-APJ and ACE signalling pathways, we examined the improvement in cardiac function with APJ small molecule agonists in the presence of ACE inhibitor captopril in heart failure rats in vivo. Captopril alone, under acute settings, does not show a marked improvement in contractility or ejection fraction acutely. However, in the presence of an APJ agonist, there was a shift in potency to the left with marked improvement in contractility and ejection fraction without changes in heart rate. These findings provide a new reference for the understanding of the regulation of ACE2 for the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS), independent of AT1R signaling and offer new potential drug targets for the treatment of diseases such as hypertension and heart failure. This work clearly establishes that combination of an agonist of the APJ receptor with an ARB such as losartan and/or with an ACE inhibitor such as captopril which may play an important role in providing greater efficacy in treating heart failure patients, for example in improving contractility and ejection fraction without changing the heart rate.

Evidence for Allosteric Interaction Between APJ and AT1R Using IP Assay

Methods

Single and double stable recombinant cell lines were generated for human APJ and the AT1R receptor in CHO K1 cells tagged either with FLAG or hemagglutinin (HA) tag. Briefly, the CHO-K1 APJ/AT1R cells were seeded in culture medium of DMEM-F12 and 10% FBS at a density of 15 k/well in a 96 well plate overnight. The next day, the culture medium was replaced with medium containing no serum for 4 hours. The compound AngII at a range of concentrations (1 pM-10 μM) with or without different concentrations of APJ agonists were diluted in stimulation buffer and added to the cell plate. The plate was sealed and incubated for 1 hour. This was followed by addition of IP-d2 conjugate followed by europium cryptate antibody conjugate into the wells. The plate was sealed, followed with incubation for 2 hours at RT. Time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy (TR-FRET) at 620 nm and 665 nm was measured after 2 hours with an Envision reader. The signal ratios and delta F were calculated and the amount of IP1 produced was inversely proportional to the TR-FRET ratio, 665/620 nm.

Results

In cells expressing both APJ and the AT1R receptor, addition of APJ agonists at different concentrations increased the maximal response of AngII and also shifted the potency to the left. The increase in IP1 response reached a maximal effect both in potency and Emax indicating a ceiling effect which is a hallmark for allosteric cooperativity between the AT1R and APJ receptor (FIG. 1). However, this effect of cooperativity was not observed in either APJ or AT1R recombinant stable cell lines indicating that there is functional cross-talk between the two receptors through physical interaction or with downstream effectors (FIG. 2 and FIG. 3). Based on the above findings of cooperativity, we rationalized that if an APJ agonist can induce heterodimerization of APJ with AT1R, blocking the AT1R with losartan would enhance the activation of APJ upon addition of small molecule agonists. We observed that APJ small molecule agonists induced positive cooperativity in the presence of AngII and addition of losartan relieved this cooperativity and resulted in synergistic effects of enhancing the efficacy of the APJ receptor. This work clearly establishes that combination of an agonist of the APJ receptor with an ARB such as losartan or an ACE inhibitor such as captopril may play an important role in providing greater efficacy in treatment of heart failure patients.
